Acts 6:4

"But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the Word."

1 Timothy 4:6-16

" If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained. But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness. For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation. For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe. These things command and teach. Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery. Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all. Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee." 1 Tim 4:6-16 (KJV)

"What The Gospel Is Not, Clearing Up Some Common Misconceptions"

WHAT THE GOSPEL IS NOT
A helpful way of understanding what the Gospel is, is to point out some common misconceptions about salvation. The true Gospel of Jesus Christ is NONE of the following, no matter how many people may be saying these things:
This is NOT the Gospel:1. God has a wonderful plan for your life.
This is NOT the Gospel:2. God loves the sinner but hates the sin.
This is NOT the Gospel:3. You can be saved anytime you want just by accepting Christ.
This is NOT the Gospel:4. Say some "sinner's prayer" and if you really mean it, you are saved.
This is NOT the Gospel:5. Anyone who believes in God (according to just about any religion) will get to heaven.
This is NOT the Gospel:6. Anyone who is a "good" person will get to heaven.
This is NOT the Gospel:7. Anyone who believes in Jesus and calls Jesus "Lord" is a Christian.
This is NOT the Gospel:8. All it takes to become saved is to exercise saving faith in Christ.
NONE OF THE ABOVE are "the Gospel" or even a part of it, no matter how many churches, pastors, evangelists, preachers, or teachers say they ARE the Gospel.
